As hes contracted and a required player we'd want a decent return, what did we pay for Lever, i'd assume the compensation should be equivalent to that.

2 first rounders with a second rounder going back to Melbourne.

That pick ended up being…Harrison Petty.

    he's injury prone and sounds like he wants to go home anyways. If he's not long term committed, I'd be tempted to do the deal now. hopefully he can recover in full and have a good season so we get properly compensated if he leaves next year.

    I can’t see it happening but if Adelaide offer 2 first round picks then it’s a no brainer

    Provided we get a forward option. We simply can't rely on TMac and BBB

    This would help us get a key forward I’d say

    We can't afford to trade him even if we got massive overs

    Means one of T Mac or BBB would have to play every week...

    Young played 3 games

    Stocker was delisted in 2022. Got picked up by the saints and had a decent 2023 playing almost every game. 
     

    2 x picks inside the top 20 including a top 10 pick

    Just shows draft picks are always speculative to a degree. This year the draft really drops off around pick 8, by all reports.

    Proof once again that draft picks are not always the Hail Mary we all hope they will be. 
    For every Oliver and Trac there are dozens of O’Briens.
     

    It is why trading quality players is very risky.
    Petty can be a major contributor to a flag in 2024 and we can then still trade him while contracted. It would be silly to let him go now, unless we believe his foot injury will prevent him from having an impact on games next year and we can get better value now.

    The only scenario I would consider trading Petty this year would be if his injuries are a major concern and there is no certainty he will get back on the park and playing his best in 2024. The club is possibly bluffing when they say is will be playing with us next year to up the anti, but I doubt that.

    Otherwise, he is a critical piece of the premiership puzzle - a tall forward who is physically fully developed, can clunk marks, split packs, run all game and kick accurately for goal. We have fantastic draft picks already - I don't care what draft picks are offered - we need exactly what he offers right now - not young talent that will come good in 2-3 years.

    I'll be upset if he does leave, even in 2024, as he is part of our core group that will play at their peak for the next 5 years. His ability to play at both ends of the ground make him all the more important as May and Lever get towards the end of their careers. 

    I really hope that he holds to his word and gives it another crack with us next year. Another test for the club.

    Go Dees!

    Picks 10 and 20 would make it a conversation but we'd have to have huge wraps on guys like Curtin, O'Sullivan and Caddy to really do it.

    AND we'd have to have a short term answer. Chol, Koschitzke, most of the even half realistic ones are spoken for.

    It's up to player managers to make their desires known and work across the industry to find options if they want to move a guy 2 years out.

    Petty still isn’t proven as a forward. As a backman alone though, he is probably worth picks 10 and 20. However, he is coming off of an injury, appears home sick, and the club at present seems hell bent on off loading salary cap space, which makes me think we’ve something in the works next trade period. Could it be a forward?

    There’s no way Curtin slips to pick 10, he’s likely going top 5. Caddy also very unlikely to still be available. O’Sullivan probably 50/50.

    I get the appeal. But we’d be cutting back a fair bit and would be the wrong type of player to trade out just as May is entering twilight.

    The theory behind this is (as Kane Cornes is gleefully enjoying on trade radio) that Adelaide will sell him the number 1 defender spot. 

    If that interests Petty at all, then we’ve failed him with all the forward-back flip flopping. 

    I’m hopeful he’s happy with the prospect of being a forward and/or a swing man, so that the sell from Adelaide isn’t persuasive.

    IF things progress on this front, Melbourne should use McKay compensation as guide for Perry’s worth. 

    The sheer optics of Petty going in the same window as McKay a lesser return would be shocking for the fan base.

    I thought when he was interviewed after the Richmond game, he said he was really enjoying his time in the forward half.

    Why would he not? What is so special about being a key defender vs key forward. I would have thought playing regularly, staying with your mates, having success were most important.

    The strong lure home is a big pile of cash!

    Which one. Could only trade Petty if we have  a trade deal agreed for a quality key forward. By key forward I mean a player who can at least halve long balls in like Petty can by taking pack marks or bringing the ball to his feet. Petty is also smart on the lead and an accurate kick which is strangely under rated.

    So who could we unlock? 

    Otherwise hold Petty for 24 and 25 as a key player in push for 14 and see where he is at end of 25 re going home.

    So in 24 we're in the window and rely on Benny Brown and Tommy Mac to support JVR in anticipation of getting a free agent in 24 FA/Trade for 25 season?

    No thankyou very much.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
